Genie

Genie is the Databricks AI experience for users. It gives every user in your organization a single place to ask data questions in natural language, explore AI/BI dashboards, and run Databricks Apps. Every answer is grounded in your organization's data and governed through Unity Catalog. The Genie products are part of Databricks AI assistive features, the built-in tools that help everyone in your organization work with data and AI.

The Genie family of AI experiences is built on the same governed data foundation:

• Genie One: A simplified interface for business users to discover and interact with data assets.
